Planning Your 2019 Adventures ANDREA STUNZ Where are you headed this year? While many of us are reflecting on last year’s achievements and adventures and setting goals and resolutions for our lives for the coming year, are we including travel in our plans? What goals do you have for adventuring this coming year? I have set two travel goals for myself in 2019. One, which I set a couple of years ago, is to take a writing getaway once each quarter. This year, I have included plans for two international trips. Hong Kong is already booked, and I’ll be making plans for a trip to Tel Aviv later this year. As I plan my excursions, I find myself thinking through when would be the best time to go, what is my budget, am I going alone or do I want to take someone with me, and other key factors that would help make it a good trip or rather, ensure it doesn’t become a bad one. There are several share-worthy factors that I’ve considered. As you plan, asking yourself these questions will help you decide what adventures are right for you and how you can make traveling a realistic part of your 2019 goals. Before you go, here’s what you need to know.
Where do I want to go? What is my budget? What are some destination options? Do I want to travel international or domestic? Do I want to visit friends? Do I want to travel with someone or would I rather go alone? Am I feeling drawn to city lights or open skies? Do I want to fly, cruise, or am I more of a road trip girl?
